You know what I have decided is fun? Unnecessarily bidding on items on ebay. I just drove up the price of a cycling jacket from $10 to $30. Not only do you get to help the economy while still sitting in front of the tv, you get a little rush, just like playing low-stakes blackjack.
I could also feel this way after getting jilted on an auction on Friday night when I missed a bid in the last 5 seconds.
Now that you know this, don't bid against me, I'll find you.

States that I've had a layover in but never left the airport: Illinois, Texas, Colorado....I think that's it. Texas will be getting bumped up to the big list next year when we go visit the in-laws.
Speaking of the in-laws: they apparently have a 'friendly' contest going to see who can visit the most states. My f-i-l drove up to Oklahoma for the day to cross one off earlier this year. Upon stopping at the Welcome Center, he was asked why he was visiting that day. His reply, "to beat my wife"

So what have I been up to this last fortnight? Not too damn much. My movie reviews of late:
Blue Juice - some British guy is living with Catherine Zeta Jones but would rather surf (in England) It was a completely unbelievable movie. Who would piss off your really hot girlfriend like that. He should take advice from Milhouse "Once she sees I'll do anything she says, she's bound to respect me"
Oh, Ewan MacGregor was in it, but I didn't recognize him until the last 15 minutes....maybe if I was paying attention.
Stick It was the much publicized gymnastics movie from the spring. It was watchable but lame and the whole time I felt like the Feds were waiting outside to bust me for renting it.
The Cooler with William H Macy and Dr. Delamico from Er was pretty good. He plays a casino employee whose job is to bring bad luck to people who are winning and how pathetic his life is.
Sadly, that about does it. I'm currently waiting out the Yankee rain delay by watching Flashdance. The boyfriend is now known as Dr. Roberts on the OC, fyi.
I know what you're saying "Flashdance?" with the same intonation as Jim Mora and his 'playoffs' quote. Watching it again, I think it was the whole Manhung song and dance that made me a man, at least it did more than any Bar Mitzvah ever did. Take that, Mr. Nachman!!!
It's nice have theMets & Yankees in the playoffs and that they're expected to go far. I'll have something to watch and read about while Fox delays their quality programming (OC, simpsons, Family Guy, that Woodcock show)
The only drawback is that my movie watching will go down.
This past weekend was pretty uneventful. I finally got around to buying paint for the dresser I came in to in college. I stripped off all the paint back then (99 or 2000) but never got around to repainting it. I got some bland neutral color for it. Hopefully I can still find the hardware that hasn't been on it for over five years.
I feel about about not having blogged since mid-September. I've noticed that several of the blogs I read on a daily basis are on hiatus or have ended all toghether. Now I need to find something else. Does anybody out there have any suggestions? I'm looking for something entertaining but not too serious.
Can someone explain to me how Byung Hung Kim is still pitching? Or is his role the guy you put in when you don't care if you lose, you just dont' want the game to go too late because you have to get out of town or have a day game tomorrow?
For those of you who might ask, yes I am still riding my bike to work most days. I missed a bunch of time in Sept due to a cold and several rainy days, but the last couple of weeks have been great. I'm starting to realize, however, that I should get some lights for when i'm riding in the morning and soon when I ride home, since sunset is getting closer to 6:00, and that's before the end of daylight savings.
Anyways, I'm gonna get shopping (on Amazon, natch) and then get Cara upstairs where she'll hopefully stop snoring. That Benadryl really knocks her out.
ttfn!
